Just passed the CS3 ACE, and it did seem a lot harder than the mock exams so far for LR. Of course, I didn't use the Examaid... learned my lesson after failing the first time!

Yes studying the help and using the software should be enough: I passed my first certification just in this way, but I didn't score highly (a couple of nights didn't give me a solid preparation). I discovered examaids with the Photoshop CS2 Exam Aid, that helped me to pass the Photoshop certification at first try and with a pretty score. I cannot say what would have happened without the aid, but I believe it was appreciably advantageous. Even if you are really motivated it's not easy to keep yourself concentrated in the tough path of studying the whole help of a major application like Photoshop. A photographer could have hard times with web and video features, a video guy with print options and so on. Photoshop CS3 Extended broadened even more the range with 3D, video and scientific tools. I think that examaid is becoming more and more a complementary training tool. It pinpoints and quantifies your lacunae, showing a daily feedback on your preparation status. I didn't buy the <a href="http://www.examaids.com/progs_pscs3.html" rel="nofollow">Adobe Photoshop CS3 ACE Exam Aid</a> because I updated my certification with the on-line exam. The price for the recertification is the same for the exam aid: it makes more sense to keep the money in case a second attempt is required. This is to say that I love you guys at Examaids, but I will love you even more if you introduce an upgrade price for returning customers. Pretty welcome would be also Adobe Air instead of Java. @Examaids

Thanks for the kind words about our exam aid. We're pleased to hear it played some small part in your preparation. You are absolutely right to say you must read the help file to prepare yourself. We spent a considerable amount of time pouring over it and added hyperlinks at the end of each supplement answer to the relevant pages to make it easier for you. If you study the help file and spend time using the application, you *should* pass the exam easily. However, that's not the experience for most people. Passing the exam is a skill in itself and not everyone has it. What the exam aids do, any exam aid, not just ours, is not only plug any holes in your knowledge as you noted but to also put you in the right frame of mind (think of it like an athlete limbering up before a race). We have lots of unsolicited testimonials from people who have been using, for example, Photoshop for ten/eleven years on almost a daily basis but found they failed the exam on their first try. However, they passed after preparing with our exam aid. Giovanni, congratulations on passing the Lightroom ACE exam! Thanks for the kind words about our exam aid.
